dotcomnamename:Please tell them again and again. |
SailorXY:You be sojaman? |
FBS:Historically, most Balon D'or winners ply their trade outside the EPL. The one and only EPL player to win it was CR7 and that was 7 years ago. Look at English teams flopping in Europe. EPL clubs can't even attract the biggest names in football these days, and the best players in the league invariably end up at Madrid or Barca. EPL as a business is not based on talent but hype. It's sold as brand on the back of 4 clubs. Surely you don't think people all over the world tune in to watch the worldbeaters at Aston Villa and West Brom slug out a 0-0 draw in the Midlands Derby? This rule is really targeted at those 4 clubs who have the finances, personnel and facilities to develop the English grassroot game to world class quality or something close The current model sees clubs hoovering up the most talented youngsters from academies, farming them out on loan to other clubs who have no interest in long term development of the loanee and as such use them anyhow, and eventually these English players end up in the lower leagues. By forcing the clubs to develop talent that they have to play, these youngsters may finally get the chance to develop that they simply don't have now. We only have 1 English regular our team. Cahill dey struggle with Zouma so he doesn't count. Bertrand might have been something but he got dispatched by an 18 million pound flop. Sturridge might have been something, but a 50 million pound flop stood in his way. McEchran might have been something. Bamford could have been something. And from an FA perspective, a stronger grassroots equals a stronger national pool to choose from. |
AirborneLacer:The very best players in the world don't play in the EPL. What you have in the EPL is second tier foreign players prioritised over homegrown talent. These foreign players are developed in countries like Spain, Brazil etc, some of which have the stricter restrictions on foreign talent that enables an environment that gives game time to budding talent. By restricting foreign talent, I think the goal is force clubs to use more homegrown players, who would then have a chance to develop their abilities, instead of languishing in the reserves till the time of rapture |
AirborneLacer:He has a point. English players are underrepresented in the EPL. |
chic2pimp:My guy how you feel about a 2nd consecutive Irish win? I was in an O'neills with my parents last night to celebrate. They thought we were there to eat though. Na me dey jolly inside. ![]() |
Ibime:How many attacking fullbacks stay sound defensively? You have to think about the drills they do in training. The mindset Iva takes to the game is not the same as what Azpi takes to the game. I'm not disagreeing with you with regards to Iva's flank being vulnerable, but that's obvious with attacking fullbacks. Think about all the fullbacks in the game now, the only don at offense and defense I can think of right now is Alaba, and maybe Zabaleta(maybe) A few weeks ago,Nasri said exactly the same thing You quoted simeone as saying, only he was referring to Dani Alves! |
So Ivanovic too is useless now? Or Average like Nateevs said? Only God knows what you guys want from an attacking full back |

Aguero dey dull my shine gaan |
coogar:Smalling has been particularlly lucky twice this season with his wwe tackling in the box You guys have brought PDP back |
English refereeing just dey tire person these days |
chic2pimp:Shey You sef dey mind Coogar ni? Person wey dey access internet from inside Yarl Wood as priviledged 'guest' |
SailorXY:Mscheew...I no keep am mute. I posted pics and i entered it in to my diary. Even when I born sef, I no loud am now. |
Thanks a lot lads ![]() |
AirborneLacer:Thanks Homie |
I see no changes, all I see is Arsenal faces... Keky wake up in the morning and he asks himself, is life worth living or should he blast himself? DJ Abeg play Changes by 2Pac for Keky ![]() |
Ibime:Who has been proven wrong? Abi is it just Oscar who's been under-performing? Fabregas the 'Central Midfielder' is also not performing...Oya sell him to PSG. You claimed central defence was not a problem, yet Zouma has practically displaced Cahill now mid-way through the season. Dont forget that even the Sterling you're hyping now was so useless at some point during the season that Rodgers had to send him off to Jamaica to Rest! Upon everything now stats remain: Sterling 2244 mins in the league 6 goals 7 assists Oscar 1816 mins in the legue 6 goals 7 assists. Lets not forget that Sterling has been playing as a striker for most of the season, and despite having played 428 minutes more(Almost 5 full games!!), still only has the same production as 'useless' Oscar. Ibime no make I open book for you o. This na new month. |
I don't see anything wrong in having an Ego, or bragging about past achievements. Why should Jose be humble? It's a known fact that he's in the elite bracket in terms of achievement, and he's earned the right to put everyone on blast if he chooses to. Haters boil beans abeg. |
Hitman Amaechi |
elampiro:And that is mutually exclusive to being gay? |
I'm a big fan of Ronaldo but it should be pretty obvious that Ronaldo is gay. |
whats dapper about that labcoat? |
Coin buyers like Coogar are finally going to be tackled. Roll on Fifa 16 already |
Nice one OP |
So it's 'just' a double then? I'm actually not too disappointed with the result cos it didn't matter when we went out, we WERE going to go out regardless. So I'll quite happily take this L this year, and console myself by worrying whether to drink expensive champagne out the Carling Cup or the EPL Cup. Maybe next year we might sign Gareth Bale... |
Ibime:Thanks G |
Ibime abeg where you dey watch the game? ITV and Sky no dey show am |
Those arent Jordans though |
MK-Dons, Swansea double, and FA cup defeat. LVG making his own records under-G. But no we can't compare LVG to Moyes. |
LVG Na yahoo with better format. This Kain scam no be here. DJ please cue up Maga don Pay by Kelly Hansome. Thanks |
